LISBOA: Culture and Cultures

Dear EABS members, dear future Lisboa lovers,


Is now public what we want to offer you during your welcome day in Lisboa. History, monuments, city and river views. So feel the city life in a walk that i and all the staff hope you enjoy.

The city of the nineteen century at São Pedro de Alcântara and Chiado side by side with a lisbon district called Bairro Alto that remounts to the sixteen century (nowadays is famous for the pubs and nightlife). There is other great part of Lisboa: Belém. Very important at the time of the Discoveries, rather balenced co-habitation of history and contemporary such as Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Cultural Centre in the same huge square (Império Square). Is also a fantastic place to enjoy the river and take a close look at Tagus. Lisboa wouldn’t be the same and have her unique personality without her inseparable river. You will have the chance of meetting them together in this eternal union.

If we have enough time we will get out of the tram #15 in Terreiro do Paço also know as Praça do Comércio and walk across Augusta Street to take contact with Baixa (downtown) wich is a disctric buildt after the terrible earthquake of november 1 of the year 1755.

There are plenty reasons to join the group on this tour through the heart of our magnificient city!

See you on August 3 and have a pleasant trip!


André
